Karan Johar introduced Vijay Deverakonda to Hindi cinema with the film Liger co-starring Ananya Panday. However, the Puri Jagannadh action drama ended as a mega flop and was a huge disappointment for Vijay. His next few films in Telugu also did not perform well.

As a result, he has now pinned a lot of hope on his upcoming film Kingdom, which is being directed by Jersey fame Gowtam Tinnanuri. The teaser of the film stunned audiences with Vijay's incredible transformation.
On the other hand, Vijay is now in talks for yet another Hindi film. Reports suggest that star producer Karan Johar has approached him to play the lead in his home production, which will be directed by Nagesh Bhat of Kill fame.
A source close to Vijay revealed that Karan and Vijay have indeed had a few discussions, but nothing has been confirmed yet. The latest buzz is that Vijay has requested a complete narration from Nagesh, which is expected to happen soon.
Vijay is in no mood to take risks after the failure of Liger and The Family Star. He is even willing to take a long break but does not want to sign films just for the sake of it, according to the source. Kill was a massive hit and won hearts with its intense action-packed storytelling.
Director Nagesh Bhat was praised for crafting a gripping narrative set entirely on a moving train. Given his success, the news of Nagesh teaming up with Vijay Deverakonda has thrilled the actor’s fans.
Meanwhile, Vijay has already signed another Telugu film after completing Kingdom, leaving fans wondering when this Hindi project will fit into his schedule. His team is carefully analyzing scripts, ensuring that his next Bollywood outing is a strong comeback. For now, the potential collaboration between Vijay and Karan Johar has generated excitement once again. Stay tuned for more updates on this project.
